Abstract
For centuries, motherhood has been the distinctive path that supposedly consummated and fulfilled women’s lives. Within the specifically patriarchal psychoanalytic triangles, but also within the domains of culture and everyday live, it is worth challenging the hopeful but perhaps erroneous assumptions that this is no longer the case. In this short reflection, I aim to bring to surface questions about whether motherhood is, in disguised ways, still considered the only possible path of female subjectivity.
